So you remember how a couple of days ago I said I had found another guy right? WELL, he ended up dumping me probably two days after that. Totally blindsided me. And it hurt like hell, but I am moving on. I have been a busy little bee, lol. I went to the local Hookah bar twice in the past week with my best friend just to hang out. I went on about five dates and I went to see another friend of mine on Sunday. We hung out at the jacuzzi for four hours mid-day (not good for a redhead lol), went for a three mile walk and watched a couple movies and had a few drinks. It might not sound like a lot, but that is a busy week for someone that usually stays at home all the time. I had a lot of fun and it has helped me to forget about that certain someone. Craziness.
I apologize for not posting anything in the last nine months. I meant to. I even started to once. But I couldn’t find the words I needed to finish it. In the last few months, things went very much downhill with my boyfriend at the time. We broke up and I moved back home. I was out of work for a few months when I got back to California, but I finally found a job. I don’t really want to get into details of the breakup. Suffice to say, it wasn’t pretty or the way I would have wanted it to end.
At least I am home. Since I have been back, I have been much happier. I am with family and back to a routine that I am comfortable with. Back to being around people I can be normal and myself with. My dad and I started a real garden in the backyard. One with lots of vegetables and a few fruits. It makes me happy to see our work growing and producing outside. Dad pulled a few carrots today to thin them out and give the stronger ones more space. There was one big enough to actually taste. A pretty purple carrot that was sweet and delicious. Just too bad it was so small! lol But then again, they really aren’t ready for harvest yet.
We also have a few chickens. Six sweet girls. I am super excited about them. They are almost four months old. It will still be a while before they start laying, but it is so much fun watching them grow. Their little personalities are so entertaining. One of the girls, an Americauna loves to sit on my lap when I go into the pen to visit them. She usually flies up to my shoulder or leg (if I’m sitting), nestles in and closes her eyes. I am so glad that part of my dreams are coming true. Even in the smallest ways.
Life is funny. It doesn’t ever turn out the way we plan. I had pictured my life differently. When Bobby and I broke up, I thought I would be losing most of my dreams. But I am a stubborn woman and I still want to see those dreams come to fruition. Even if I have to go about them in a different way, on a different path. I will get what I want. I even met someone new that, so far, is pretty darn close to perfect. We’ve been dating for almost a month and I really enjoy his company. I am comfortable with him. I am really looking forward to seeing where this aspect of life takes me as well.
So, it has been a week since I planted my little plants and they seem to be doing quite well. They look happy and healthy and like they are enjoying the spot on the porch that I gave them. I gave them a little more plant food because the bottle said to do so about every week to ten days. I planted them in pretty basic, cheap top soil which I was told things don’t grow well in, but like I said, they look very happy. They have gotten a bit bigger since I planted them and they look like they are filling into their pots. The goji berry plant is also filling out, though a little slower. No surprise there since it will take tears for it to reach it’s potential and start giving me fruit. Over all I am very pleased with how things are looking. I even bought a couple more plants. Some of those Buzzy Starter Kits. Curious how those will grow. It is some Cayenne peppers,bell peppers, regular tomatoes and cherry tomatoes.
So I finally got the strawberry topsy turvy planter that I have been eyeing for weeks. I would love to have a whole mess of strawberries and seeing as I am pretty much only allowed to have plants in containers, this was a good idea. It was the last one sitting on the shelf and I couldn’t bear the thought of someone else getting it and then not being able to find one again at such a good price. I am excited now to start growing one of my all time favorite fruits. I do realize that it is late in the year for strawberries but i might be able to do it anyways. Depends… Just going to have to do a little research.
Went to a local pub the other night which was something new for me. Never even had much to drink before either. I mean I had a margarita once and I have sipped a few things, but this was the first time I had a real drink. I told the barista that I liked jäger so she suggested a Red Headed Slut. I thought it was hilarious and it sounded good too. Jäger, cranberry juice and something else. Tasted good but I think it needed less of the fluff and more of the drink. Not because I wanted to get drunk or anything, just because I think it would have tasted better. MyDearest had two beers. Don’t remember what they were bit he did have me taste them. The second one, a local beer, was pretty tasty, if a little watery in texture. I like stuff thicker like juice, which jäger is. I was what I guess was buzzed after my drink. Had a kind of light headedness and my tummy felt a little swirly, but nothing else. It was actually kind of unpleasant and i don’t really see why people want to achieve that feeling so much. When we got home the rest of the family was drinking wine. It was a Chardonnay, which was different than what they had before. Their last wine was nit very good at all. This one however was decent so I had a small glass. Now I would think that that would end up increasing the “buzz” that I had, but it didn’t. By the time I had finished the glass, the feeling was almost gone and i felt almost normal. Very strange. I was always so against drinking, and still am for the most part, so this is all very new to me. On the other hand, I do want to try to make some wine or mead sometime in the future. Something to do with all of those extra strawberries that I will have laying around uneaten. Lol. I wanna make strawberry mint wine or mead. Just can’t fine a recipe for it. It is either one or the other, not both lol. I will also be growing a plum tree so plum wine or mead is on the roster too.
Hope my rambles weren’t too rambly. Night world!
So today I walked over to Wilco and went through the garden section. Took me FOREVER to decide what I wanted, but I finally settled on a few things. I bought Sage, Spearmint, and a Goji berry plant as well as the supplies needed to make them grow. All things that I can eat as well as looking nice. I bought some seeds as well, California Peppers, Cucumbers, Spinich, and Carrots. Eventually I will plant them, but at the moment, I’ve no where to place them.
See my dream is to be somewhat self sufficient. Growing my own vegetables and fruits, as well as raising a few livestock. I am currently living at my boyfriend’s parents house, so I can not plant anything permanent here that they might not want. Thus I have to put things in containers. Which is why I don’t have room for much of anything yet. I think all the seeds I just bought would do well in containers except perhaps the carrots. Wouldn’t they need more space than a container could provide?
I’ve got a few books that are very helpful and informative for my goals. I am excited about the possibilities, even if I always have to plant things in containers. Growing my own food is something that I desperately want to do. And this is my start!
I have almost finished packing up my room. I have the stuff that I am taking with me packed, but all of the rest of it needs to go into storage somewhere. Probably under the stairs. I am soooooo excited! Bobby will be here around three tomorrow! I will FINALLY be able to hold him in my arms and keep it that way!! lol. We will be hanging around town for Friday and Saturday and then we are leaving EARLY Sunday so we can be home Monday morning and spend time together before he has to go back to work. It is such a relief to finally be going “home” with Bobby. Not quite home yet because we don’t have our own place, but close enough!! I will let you guys know how everything goes!

5 with a little bit more fat on me (I have to suck my stomach in to get it to look like that…..)/3 but I would like to have a bit more curve than even that. Just a little bit more weight. But not flabby….
So I have been a free member of Witch School for quite a while, but I never took any of the courses. As a free member there are only a select few that you can take, for free. None of those ever interested me. I saw an advert on PaganSpace that showed the lifetime membership at a discounted price, so I jumped at the chance. This way, I get ALL of the courses that I want for that ONE TIME PRICE which is amazing. I am not going to follow the Correllian Path, but I do want to take alot of the other courses. Such as herbalism and most of the oracle courses. Possibly some of the history courses. I still want to go to College of the Sacred Mists and take their Degree program to eventually becoming a High Priestess, but I think this will be good for my growth at this point. So YAY!! lol
I have also been doing alot of yarn craft the past couple of days. It may not seem like alot when I list it out in a second, but trust me, it is. I crocheted a little purple cowl neck top. Finished it in two days. Turned out pretty cute as an off the shoulder shirt. As an actual cowl neck it looks kinda funny. Now, crochet I can do really quickly and easily. I can do complicated designs and it is tons of fun. I have been KNITTING a ballet neckline top now!! lol, Knitting I do not do. It takes ALOT more time and alot more work (but uses less yarn apparently) I have been working on it for 3 days now and am MAYBE 20% done. I love the soft yarn and I love the green color so I am bound and determined to finish the top. It should be super cute when I am finished! I think I will post pics tomorrow.
Things have been fairly good with Bobby and I. We haven’t been able to talk as much since he has been extra tired from work, but I think we have been on excellent terms. He is busy packing all of his stuff for his move into his new home in two weeks and I am super excited for them.
My class ends in just a few weeks as well. I am super nervous about that because it means I am moving SO SOON! I’m kinda scared. Excited, but scared. AHH!! I hope, I hope, I hope that I get a job! I need it so that Bobby and I can support one another on our own.
Mmm… end of my ramblings for a moment. So brightest blessings everyone!!!!
